Here are a few signings that could make the biggest impact on the upcoming season:
Lucija Milkovic and Addison Carr
Texas State struggled with a lack of size last season as 6-foot-1 forward Kyra Anderson was the team's tallest player. The Bobcats often lost the battle on the glass and, in the final game of the season, started three guards shorter than 5-10.
New head coach Chris Kielsmeier has immediately addressed that issue by adding Milkovic and Carr, two 6-foot-6 centers. Milkovic is entering her senior season after struggling to realize her potential at Missouri or Seattle U. She averaged 6.2 points and 3.8 rebounds last season. Despite her size, she only had 14 blocks in 41 games.
Carr, meanwhile, swapped her commitment from Cleveland State, following Kielsmeier to San Marcos. Milkovic has more experience, but Carr could fight for playing time early if the senior struggles.
